'Super Tuesday' An OK Office Topic
By Matthew L. Brown
Results of a new survey suggest that politics is no longer a taboo subject for office conversation.
OfficeTeam , an administrative staffing agency, recently asked 522 professionals about talking politics at work, and 67 percent said that was acceptable "in small doses as long as the conversation isn't too heated."
Only 14 percent said it's useful to talk about political issues and engage coworkers in debate, however. Another 18 percent said it was inappropriate to talk politics at work.
